Brian McCann Pulled off the Greatest Brawl Move of All-Time Last Night

When I think of Brian McCann, I THINK OF HIM ABSOLUTELY KILLING THE PHILLIES and looking like a male librarian at the local high school. But I absolutely love this move by him– not letting Carlos Gomez cross home plate after jawing with Braves while rounding the bases on his colossal home run. Fight me, and you get home.

It’s like a boss level in a video game. Sure, you may have hopped on those little Koopas while circling the diamond, but now you have to earn your right to screw the princess.Like, from now on, I’m going to think of McCann as a 100-foot tall monster that guards home plate by spitting chew at you, and the only way to defeat him is by sticking your spikes in his pudgy little belly until his catcher’s equipment is ripped away with advanced animation techniques and his little tiny outie is kicked in by a metal cleat. I could see Chase doing this.

McCann gave Gomez the opportunity to fight…Gomez backed down and he should have backed down. He embarrassed himself with his behavior rounding the bases…he embarrassed himself by never crossing home plate. If he had touched McCann, he would have been embarrassed even more when they carried him off the field. Hopefully, he learned a valuable lesson called sportsmanship.

This McCann act, while cool here, is getting a bit old. We get it – you are old school, yadda yadda yadda. Of course McCann did the right thing in this case but from what I hear, he’s increasingly disliked by his teammates and is slowly wading into AJ Pierzynski territory.

Whoa! It’s not everyday Lance Parrish is mentioned, and with good reason. McCann’s roadblock number didn’t impress me in the slightest, Gomez should’ve just kneed him in the balls if he wanted to touch home plate. If that had been an NHL game, gloves would already have been dropped and fisticuffs well underway. Baseball players are pussies when it comes to the really tough stuff. Meanwhile, I agree that McCann isn’t worth the trouble, mainly because he’d be yet another lefthanded bat in this increasingly stupid lineup of ours.

Baseball players are such pussies anymore. If someone disrespects you like that, you punch them in the face. I cant stand how shit like this gets called a “brawl,” when there isnt one punch thrown. While im on topic, Nolan Ryan vs Robin Ventura was probably the best shit ive ever seen.

Fuck the Braves and fuck Brian McCann and his “mightier than thou” old school bullshit. Seriously. And what a shitty fan base they have down there, look at how empty that place is. And they’re going to the playoffs!

If you watch closely, you can read Gomez lips. “What’s this day of rest shit? What’s this bullshit? I don’t fuckin’ care! It don’t matter to Jesus. But you’re not foolin’ me, man. You might fool the fucks in the league office, but you don’t fool Jesus. This bush league psyche-out stuff. Laughable, man – ha ha! I would have fucked you in the ass Saturday. I fuck you in the ass next Wednesday instead. Wooo! You got a date Wednesday, baby!”

I’m not one to make a big deal out of attendance but the crowd at that game was pathetic. Sure, it was a rainy, late Sept. school night but did anyone go? This wasn’t the Phils-Mets. The Braves are challenging for the best record in the NL and are prepping for the playoffs.

We know Atlanta fans are historically bad but the Braves are a playoff team for Christ’s sake. There were 10k more people in San Diego for the Padres-DBacks game of eliminated playoff teams than there were in Atlanta. According to the box score there were 500 more people in Atlanta than in Miami for the Phils-Marlins game. When you are barely outpacing the Marlins, things are bad. And it was a late-Sept school night in Miami, too.

I’m not surprised. The Braves have always shit the bed when it came to home attendance, even back in their glory years during the 90’s when they won division titles umpteen straight years. Atlanta fans are either apathetic or frontrunners, or both. The only thing they really care about is college football.

Good thing mccan and the braves are policing the league. We wouldn’t want any players to show any type of personality. There is definitely no place for that in this league. Everyone needs to stay stuck in the past and follow unwritten rules. You know what, to hell with sabermetrics too the only stats that matter are wins and rbi’s.

Brian McCann should grow a his beard out and etch the unwritten rules of baseball into two stone tablets on top of Mt. Sinai. Until he does so, he and the Braves should stop taking themselves so seriously; it’s clear that their fans don’t.
